3.6. Pre-Installation Hardware and Operating System Setup

This section will walk you through pre-installation hardware setup, if
any, that you will need to do prior to installing Debian. Generally,
this involves checking and possibly changing BIOS/system firmware settings for
your system. The “BIOS” or “system firmware” is the core software used by the
hardware; it is most critically invoked during the bootstrap process
(after power-up).
